Title: Amazing how Ronnie couldnt be a pro football player
Post by: HERACLES on October 03, 2006, 12:43:34 PM
He is naturally an athlete...I wonder what he didnt have to be a pro football player...just commentating on what he said before his routine...how he always wanted to be a pro football plyer...

Wasnt he a linebacker in college? I remember seeing pics of him and he was huge even naturally, while playing football...

No offense but football players physiques are nothing compared to bodybuilders. The heavy large guys are like at 30%+ bodyfat percentage levels. With the *talent*, and enough $$ to eat large Ronnie could've been  in fball.

when ronnie graduated in like 89, linebackers werent that big.

besides, no one said he was going to be like lawrence taylor, but he could have been a backup, safety, or played special teams.

I'm 5'11 235 lbs drug free. If I could get to 235, why couldn't Ronnie? He might be 200 lbs ripped, but there is no reason to be ripped playing football. And by the way, there are running backs and db's under 200lbs.

Strength means dick.  Speed is more important. Control, agility, reaction time. ACTUAL SKILL.

Big Muscles don`t translate into much of anything.  Power is nothing without control.

Athletes all have respective bodytypes and a PRO bodybuilder is not suited for much of any.

Being a bodybuilder doesn`t automatically make you a gifted athlete or fighter or anything.

Some of the best athletes don`t even lift weights.

If you guys think Ronnies ability to get huge has any bearing on his football skills you need to watch more football. Ronnie did not have the size nor speed needed to come even close being a linebacker in the nfl. 5'11 200 bills aint shit in the nfl. For a linebacker that is miniscule. He couldent take all the shit he does now either. I would love to see some of the most elite physical freaks in the nfl bodybuild. Now that would be something to see.

Not saying Ronnie was not a decent athlete. But suprised he is not a pro football player? Why since he can get huge of tons of drugs and working out as a job? Ronnie was VERY impressive against the average sized guy. But he was a twerp compared to some of the freaks that play in the NFL.

Anyway...a lot of this is GetDumb BS...as usual.  No one on here has a clue what his 40 was at Grambling, how many reps he could do 225 for or his vertical.  Would have probably been a 2nd team SS or special teamer if he had stayed injury free in college...that's if he could have made a roster.  I know a guy who coaches in NOLA who played FS for the Southern Jags during Ronnie's run.  I'll ask him if he remembers Mr Coleman.  Keep the stupid talk going as usual.   

BTW....5'11" 205 or so would have been good for a SS in the NFL in the early 90s.  Obviously...he seems to have a lot of natural strength.  He could be built up to at least 220 or so in an NFL program. 

The drugs have just enhanced what was already there.  Do you really think True Donkey is in Ronnie class on the football back in the day or in a weight room naturally.

He played football in school....not saying bodybuilders can be football players Adonis....Wondering how since he was such an awesome athlete, strong, and played football not getting to the nfl.  He says this during the intro before his routine "i dreamed about being a pro football plater...and when that didnt happen..."

5'11" is tall enough to be a linebacker, look at the Dallas Cowboy linebacker, damn whats his name...mason? hes like 5'9"

Not really. All else equal, the more powerful athletes win. That's part of why even baseball's filled with roids & lifting and a big part of why Bonds got better with age. Along with faster bat reaction time he could also muscle the ball over the fence. Some BBs are athletic, there's no way to generalize.

5'11" would've been good enough to play, even now. He was either injured or not quite special enough in various areas. Extra strength isn't the same or as important as power. Power's key; strength by itself doesn't help much.

Ronnie played div I football for Grambling U near Monroe La. I belive he got a BA in accounting while there.
I read he was very strong in the powerlifts as well while there as a young man.

Remember Ronnie had low bodyfat at 200 lbs. Show us a picture of these so called freaks you're referring to that would make 20lbs Ronnie look like a twerp. I'm waiting for the pics.

So Ronnie might be 5'9...He couldn't play college div. 1 or 2 ball as a linebacker at that height

Exactly. these guys think since Ronnie can bench alot and puts on muscle like an alien with the aid of massive amounts of drugs he is isnt just another sub 6 foot 200 lb football player. I played with many guys like this. The pros are the best of the best. If ronnie had the skill he would be in the nfl. I am not saying the guy was not a great athlete but the NFL is the best of the best.

Who cares what his bodyfat was and the muscle he carried. A 6'2 linbacker with 12 percent bodyfat at 240 lbs that is faster and more skilled would eat his ass up no matter how good he looked with his shirt off.

8-15%
injectables + orals offseason
orals onseason for maintanance

Ob not... They think since Ronnie lifts alot of weight and is huge he is an elite athlete. Ronnie himself said his dream was to be a nfl player. If he was good enough I would think he would have followed his dream. I know plenty of people who have good genetics who cannot play a sport for shit.

Although I do think Ronnie is a freak of nature.

Wrong again. His power and strength would be definite advantages, it's a mix of everything. You have no idea about his other attributes so stop thinking in absolutes as to what he had or didn't have. Including the silly conjecture on height-5'11" would be acceptable height as well.

Homo being a football player is not a case of saying your strong as hell and powerful your going to be a great football player!

Not quibbling on his height, but to say someone who is strong and powerful would be good fotball player for thos reasons alone is completely fucking stupid.

those reasons could lead to the cocnlusion he would be an excellecnt strongman of Farmer but there is more to playing football for god sake don't be ridiculous because you want to be the one that massages his lat!

Still not getting it, because you think in simplist absolutes. Being strong & especially being powerful are some of the most important attributes, alway in combo with other attributes-stop proving that you're a mental midget by assuming that all the important attributes aren't a mix of different abilities.

Ya I played college ball and it mattered who was more powerful; that's why steroids were so popular in case anyone's forgotten before they were policed. As far as the speed these days he was playing more than 20 years ago for anyone who can't tell the difference. ::)

Wasnt he a linebacker in college? I remember seeing pics of him and he was huge even naturally, while playing football...



RONNIE WENT TO COLLEGE NOT TO BE A FOOTBALL PLAYER...HE WENT FOR ACCOUNTING AND GRADUATED WITH A DEGREE IN ACCOUNTING. THEN WENT ON TO BE A POLICE OFFICER WITH THE ARLINGTON POLICE FORCE. NOW 8 TIME MR. OLYMPIA AND THE ABILITY TO RETURN TO THE POLICE FORCE AT ANY TIME. I WOULD SAY HE IS DOING MUCH BETTER THAN ANY FOOTBALL PLAYER WOULD HAVE. HOW MANY FORTY SOMETHING FOOTBALL PLAYERS DO YOU SEE??? HOW MANY FOOTBALL PLAYERS END UP WITH CAREER ENDING INJURIES AND IN SOME CASES LIFE ALTERING INJURIES EARLY ON IN THEIR CAREERS...THEN THEY REALIZE THEY HAVE NOTHING TO FALL BACK ON.

I AM GLAD HE DIDN'T PURSUE A FOOTBALL CAREER....RISKSINJURIES ARE TOO HIGH

don't meltdown with the mental midget stuff mate it sad


to play at the highest level being big and strong is not the be all and end all.


What about balance agility, what if he could not remeber plays what if this what if that, there are so many variables at work here for you to say these things amuses me.

You love Ronnie so do I not as much as you clearly, but to say this is silly.


you post really does not make sense and seems like you backtracking by now saying  "all the important attributes aren't a mix of different abilities" which may I add does not articulate you point very well if i'm reaing it correctly which is fucking hard.

being big and strong is important but if you tell me thats the basis on how you decided Ronnie would be a good football player then i laugh. tell me about his different abilities back then

Simply thing is you don't know about his other attributes plain and simple i'm not saying he could not ahve been good but to say he could have is pathetic!!

Still not getting it, because you think in simplist absolutes. Being strong & especially being powerful are some of the most important attributes, alway in combo with other attributes-stop proving that you're a mental midget by assuming that all the important attributes aren't a mix of different abilities.

Ya I played college ball and it mattered who was more powerful; that's why steroids were so popular in case anyone's forgotten before they were policed. As far as the speed these days he was playing more than 20 years ago for anyone who can't tell the difference. ::)

I played ball for a d2 school. The kids there where large. I went to visit a good friend of mine who played for BC.... Then I saw what kind of size d1 players carry. This was not even one of the top d1 schools mind you.
